The movie is chock-full of belly-laugh-inducing gags and individuals that require no knowledge of Asian culture to understand. In fact, some jokes—like the way in which fast-running characters develop blurry wheels where their legs should be—seem directly cribbed from American Saturday morning cartoons...
